There is an old outside plant tool commonly referred to as a "hound dog" which is basically a toner on steroids. The suggestions about going to a good ground though are valid. I would call around a few outside plant splicers and see if anyone has a hound dog if you cant get a solution using...

Telemarketers frequently employ this tactic. They have a way of manipulating their caller ID, and frequently do. My boss had the same problem, they were calling from a number one digit different to our office line, or one digit off of his cellphone number. It is not likely that they are...

None at all...bad port. Problem solved though, swapped it with the shop phone, which does not recieve incoming calls anyway! Thanks for all the help guys. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they were right...

I will try that after 5 Curly, thanks. Will let you know how it looks tomorrow I guess. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they were right, things were worse!

The set has been changed out with another (which was functioning at a different DN) I have not been able to move the DN to another port, unfortunately all ports are in service. The port has been disabled and reinabled several times with no joy. I am planning on doing a system restart at the...

Each cable manufacturer publishes information, which is largely ignored, it is called the "NVP" or nominal velocity of propagation. This, in English, is the percentage of the speed of light at which a data bit will travel along the cable. This NVP is the part you need to look at regarding...

Yep, I am with everyone else...why the shielding? Unless you are installing these in a very high RFI area you should not need shielding. Are these going into a regular office environment? Cat5E will work fine and will not affect the call quality. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile...

It is showing "Not in service" when someone tries to call it. Looks like it is just not being "seen" by the switch, but only on incoming. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they were right, things were worse!

Already set that up, its showing 224 as it is supposed to. I built the entire thing again after it failed. Every single programmed function is working on it just fine, it just will not allow incoming calls of any kind on that station. I tried to copy another perfectly working set profile onto...

Showing 10 reoccurring EVT's on the 247 also. Anyone know what event code this is? I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they were right, things were worse!

No, that was just some additional background information. I was also checking the log and it is showing EVT299 (power-up after power failure) which is explainable. Also showing EVT247...which I do not know what it is and have not been able to find anything else on it. I was miserable, then...

In addition, this phone completely died the other day. The set was replaced and it was functioning normally afterwards. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they were right, things were worse!

I have one station (104 on the block) that has a problem. It is unable to receive incoming calls from both the outside lines and intercom. It is capable of dialling out to both. Anyone have any ideas? All of the setup appears to be the same as all of the other phones in the office. I was...

Just a plotter. Hate the large format scanners with a passion...much easier just to print from CAD to pdf and email pdf's around...dont lose half your drawing to a scanner. I was miserable, then someone told me "smile and be happy, things could be worse". So I smiled and was happy...and they...

Does anyone have any knowledge of Oce plotters? We are in the market for a new plotter and are looking at the Oce 2236 among others right now. I have not been able to find much information regarding these plotters on the web, do any of you have any good or bad experiences to share regarding...
